As a woman who has lived through many decades of changes this "fragile flower" BS from these women is repulsive. It undermines the vast gains that have been made for women. The USA article is disgusting to begin with (so thank you Glenn for being a strong voice for those without a voice) and then for the author (or her cohorts) to mount a defense based on hurt feelings compounds my disdain. Whether the Capitol rioters are guilty or not does not change their essential rights to effective legal counsel.

Jeff Bezos did not purchase the failing Washington Post because he was interested in journalism, of course. Controlling the narrative is central to maintaining power. In this age of so many independent sources of information available (for now) online, I am baffled that too many Americans continue to lap up the obvious lies and misinformation spewed forth by elite media. It seems that those with greater levels of education (schooling, I should say; indoctrination, not education, is what is taking place on American campuses) are those most inclined to swallow the propaganda from our corporate media. The "Woke" truly need to be awakened from their intellectual slumber.

The kindest "take" on the journalists who draw paychecks by passing off lies for truth, and disparaging truth-sayers as liars, is that they are ignoramuses. The only other possibility is that these folks are evil, serving the interests of an even greater evil. Actively seeking the destruction of globalization's victims leads me to think the second possibility is most likely.
